This week on Magic Muggle, we slow down for a heartfelt look at Chapters 10 through 12 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. From Halloween traditions and Harry’s first Quidditch match to the emotional weight of The Mirror of Erised, these chapters remind us why this story has endured. We reflect on friendship forming through bravery, the warmth of a first real Hogwarts Christmas, and how small gestures — like a Weasley sweater or an enchanted banner — show Harry he’s finally found people who care. Plus, we talk about: 🪄 My headcanon for Quidditch rules 🪄 Hermione’s big emotional turning point 🪄 Snape’s suspicious leg injury 🪄 Hagrid… the Gamekeeper, not the board game master 🪄 A little foreshadowing about a certain disappearing room Wands down, hearts full… and mirrors that show us what we long for most.
